The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 40 The truth comes out
Having said that, He Zhiyu, who had always seemed indifferent to everything, finally became excited. She seemed to be lacking in energy and blood, her face was extremely pale, her body was shaking and she was about to faint, but it was Sister Niu who stepped forward and supported her.

"Little sister, you have to hold on. You should be happy that your revenge is coming."

"Second sister, I'm fine, I'm just a little excited."

Wu Chengyu opened his eyes wide again. It turned out that Sister Niu and others were in the same group with He Zhiyu. Everything that had just happened was a setup.

Just now, Sister Niu was indignantly scolding He Zhiyu for eloping with a pretty boy, saying that she should be thrown into a pig cage and that all the fuss was just acting. Who would have thought that Sister Niu, who looked like a pure, reckless and outspoken tomboy, had actually been acting the whole time, and Wu Chengyu, who prided herself on being smart, was also deceived and didn't notice anything unusual at all.

"I bought a watch last year. If anyone ever says the ancients were ignorant, I'll spray them to death with a mouthful of salt water." Wu Chengyu was a little upset at this point.

He Zhiyu took a breath and spoke again, "I knew at that time that I was already in your trap. My life and death were controlled by you. I could only put on a brave face. I can't act, and my resistance to you also alerted you. From then on, you became wary of me, and all my letters were harmless.

Until last month, the fake monk suddenly appeared in Wushang, and somehow he also set his sights on me. At that time, your family business had problems and you had no time to spare, but the fake monk took advantage of me going to Shuanglin Temple to burn incense and seduced me in every way, wanting to elope with me.

I will take advantage of your plan and let him take me out of Wushang overnight while you are away from home. At the same time, I will find an opportunity to send a message on the way, asking my brothers and sisters for help.

You only know that my He family has the map of Beiwei's treasure, but you don't know that this map is divided into four parts, which are respectively managed by my He family, Lu family, Niu family and Yu family. What can you do even if you get the map in my hands?
But what I have never known is that my He family has clues to the treasure. There are only a few people left who knew about it back then. How did you, Cao Mao, know about it?"

Ahem. Cao Mao seemed to have gained more strength from the news. He coughed up blood and managed to speak, "Bitch. Isn't the Beiwei Treasure just the remnants of Yue Fei's army hiding the spoils captured during the Northern Expedition after Yue Fei's death, hoping to one day fight against the Jin Dynasty and support the Han people?
I, Cao Mao, am also a descendant of Yue Family Army. Back then, by chance, my ancestors learned about this treasure. After searching for you for years, we finally found the descendants of the He family. These spoils of war originally belonged to my Cao family, so why can't I take them?"

Sister Niu and He Zhiyu looked at each other, obviously unable to understand where Cao Mao, a descendant of Yue Family Army, came from.

Big Brother Lu beside him shook his head and sighed, "His spearmanship just now looked somewhat familiar. The pure iron-tipped steel spear, and that golden spear tip, and his last name is Cao. So, he must be a descendant of Cao Ning, the Golden Spear General who served under Grandpa Yue."

Cao Mao seemed to have a moment of clarity at this moment. He struggled to look up and said, "I should have thought of it earlier. The one wielding the four-edged bronze mace is surnamed Niu, so he must be a descendant of Niu Gao. The one wielding the double-headed spear is of course the Double Spear General Lu Wenlong. And the one wielding the flying knife and iron caltrop, whose descendant are you?"

Yu Xiaowu said, "Under Grandpa Yue's command, the Golden Dart General Yu Hualong."

Cao Mao turned his gaze towards his former wife, He Zhiyu, his eyes filled with resentment. "And you, descendant of He Yuanqing, the Iron Hammer General, the Four Fierce and Eight Hammers. I thought you were just an ignorant woman, but I didn't expect to fall into your hands."

Sister Niu's eyes widened in anger: "Since we are both descendants of Yue Family Army, you actually dared to set your sights on Beiwei's treasure. You deserve to die."

Cao Mao laughed bitterly and said, "In those days, our ancestor Cao Ning was invincible on horseback, and he defeated all the generals of Yue Fei's army and threw them into disarray. Later, he abandoned his evil ways and surrendered to Yue Fei. Unexpectedly, Yue Fei scolded my ancestor for violating human ethics. In anger, my ancestor drew his sword and committed suicide, leaving only us descendants to linger for many years.

Do you think the descendants of the Cao family will be grateful to Yue's army? Bullshit, you owe me. "

When He Zhiyu mentioned the word "hidden treasure," Wu Chengyu's heart sank. Some things, once heard, were hard to keep to oneself. Presumably, Sister Niu and the others didn't want outsiders to know the secret of the so-called Beiwei treasure. Besides the dying people, the only outsiders here were him and A Ku. Hearing the words "descendants of Yue Family Army" perked up Wu Chengyu's spirits. If they were descendants of Yue Family Army, given Grandpa Yue's unparalleled loyalty and righteousness, these descendants probably weren't bad people. If they could be trusted, they shouldn't be murdered to silence them.

But after hearing the names Cao Ning, Lu Wenlong, He Yuanqing and Yu Hualong, Wu Chengyu's expression became extremely wonderful.

In addition to Niu Gao, who was a real figure in history, he was also the leader of the Henan rebel army and later became a general under Yue Fei.

The rest of the Golden Spear General, Double Spear General, Iron Hammer General and Golden Dart General seem to be characters in The Legend of Yue Fei, and are all fictional.

So the world is actually a fusion of Yue Fei and The Legend of the Condor Heroes? This combination is very fresh to Wu Chengyu, at least he has never seen it in fan fiction before.

After everything was said and the truth was revealed, Cao Mao seemed to have no strength to speak anymore and closed his eyes, waiting to die.

Only Brother Lu was very confused when he saw Tianshi and Qian Yang lying on the ground with serious injuries.

"What's going on with this Qian Yang? I originally thought he was just a lecherous monk, and that He's sister used him to escape Cao Mao's pursuit and join us. But just now, Tianshi suddenly intervened and forced her to stay. This matter is very strange."

Everyone looked at Tianshi, but Tianshi kept silent. As for Qian Yang, Sister Niu's copper mace had just pierced his left ribs, directly injuring his lungs. He lay on the ground bleeding all over. Now he only had one breath left and could no longer speak.

Wu Chengyu, who had been reducing his presence before, decided to gamble on humanity again, betting that these descendants of Yue Family Army would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, he interrupted.

"Just now, Qian Yang whispered in Tianshi's ear that there was a monk named Kuhen in Shaolin Temple. During his lifetime, he was obsessed with finding the He family's descendants to search for the treasure. This Qian Yang learned about this. It was also this Qian Yang who somehow discovered the identity of the He family's sister and planned to lure her out. His goal was the same as Cao Rong's, also the treasure."

Everyone stared at Wu Chengyu, as if silently questioning how Wu Chengyu knew.

Wu Chengyu pointed to his ears and said, "My hearing is pretty good. Just now, when you were all staring at Cao Mao, I happened to be close to you and heard everything clearly.

Sister He, Sister Niu, Brother Lu, and all my brothers, I truly have nothing to do with what happened tonight; it was simply a coincidence. I have always respected Grandpa Yue, and I, Wu Mianfeng, swear to heaven that I will never reveal any information about the treasure to anyone. If you break this oath, you will be hacked into pieces and die an unpleasant death."

There was not much Wu Chengyu could do at this time except swearing an oath, but this oath was indeed sincere. He had no interest in the treasure. As for Yue Fei, every Chinese citizen would admire him.

I had a slight cold yesterday, but it’s not a big deal, at least I didn’t have a fever and I could write, but I was stuck on a writer’s block. This novel has been well received by you all, and the author feels that the story should be written better. Once this idea came out, some of my previous plans were scrapped, and then some of my ideas seemed too bland, which made me extremely conflicted. Fortunately, the manuscripts I have saved can still last for a few more days, so let me think about it for a while longer.
